Titles and indications related to the surahs are rubricated in red-orange ink, as are some reading and separation signs. The written surface is bounded by a multi-ruled polychrome manuscript frame, mainly red-orange and black, with occasionally a blue-green line. Decorative changes of surahs are particularly ornate, their title, traditional classification and number of verses may be written in red before the basmala, بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
